Telephone: 020 8940 1034"It’s easy to be seduced by the gloss and patter of large Estate Agents but actually, what most of us are hoping to find is a local, knowledgeable, friendly and efficient team. We'd been though the mill searching in Kew until we found Giles and Halletts. He understood our very specific requirements and offered measured and insightful advice. There was no time wasting or efforts to shoehorn us into the wrong thing. The perfect flat was found and purchased with the least amount of drama and fuss. Such a breath of fresh air. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Giles and Halletts. Good Estate Agents are a very rare breed but utterly invaluable when found. Although he's not done with us yet, we've asked him to look after the rental too."
